Golden State 5K

The Golden State 5K is a vibrant community race experience in San Francisco, California, USA, centered around Thrive City and the Chase Center. Organized by Thrive City in partnership with Mascot Sports, the event blends a traditional 5K with the energy of a large-scale fan festival, bringing together runners, walkers, Warriors fans, and families for a morning focused on fitness, fun, and community. Rather than feeling like a bare-bones race, it is positioned as a full event-day experience, with waterfront scenery, entertainment, wellness programming, and a celebratory post-race atmosphere. For runners who want a 5K that feels social, polished, and distinctly Bay Area, the Golden State 5K stands out as a high-energy city event with a strong local identity.
